Fertility restorer (Rf) gene linked STMS marker: An efficient tool for testing the genetic purity of hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) seed
Main Article Content
Abstract
A fertility restorer (Rf) gene linked STMS marker, RM 6100 as well as Grow Out Test (GOT) were used for testing the genetic purity of hybrid seed of eight popular rice hybrids. The genetic purity ranging from 96.00% to 100.00%, could be determined through marker, whereas, it varied from 97.00% to 99.50% in GOT. The comparative assessment of both methods exhibited that molecular marker was more efficient than GOT, as it could detect 0.25-2.50% more impurities very precisely as compared to GOT.It suggests that a single Rf gene linked co-dominant STMS marker appeared to be a simple, precise and quick option over GOT for testing the purity of hybrid seed lots in short span of time.
